The American Medical Association, a bastion of Progmericanism, has conceded the battle against children by announcing it no longer supports transgender surgery for children. The association stated, “the evidence for gender-affirming surgical intervention in minors is insufficient for us to make a definitive statement…the AMA agrees with ASPS that surgical interventions in minors should be generally deferred to adulthood.”
This followed up this comment from the organization in 2021, “The American Medical Association (AMA) today strengthened its established position opposing the governmental intrusion into the practice of medicine that is detrimental to the health of transgender and gender-diverse children and adults. Legislatures in 20 states this year proposed banning physicians and other health care professionals from providing medically necessary gender-affirming care to transgender and gender-diverse youth…”

Yesterday, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) announced it no longer supported “gender-affirming surgeries” for children under 18 years old. It marked the first major medical organization to shift policy around “gender-affirming care,” and many noted it only happened in the wake of a $2 million malpractice lawsuit that was won by detransitioner Fox Varian, who underwent a mastectomy as a teenager. Varian sued her psychologist and the doctor who removed her breasts.
Now the American Medical Association (AMA) said it agrees with the ASPS about the surgeries.
